    FFS. How many kids/teachers really can't get to school by foot, bike or public transport?

    Schools on the risk of homeschooling happening again due to fuel shortages
    Headteachers are hoping that they will not be forced to revert back to online lessons as a result of fuel shortages, a school leaders’ union has said.

    Geoff Barton, general secretary of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: “Schools and colleges are operating under a great deal of pressure at the moment because of the situation with Covid infections.

    “The last thing they need is the added pressure of fuel shortages with the potential for this to mean that staff, pupils and suppliers are unable to get to school.

    Loads of teachers. Lots like to teach outside their local area as it reduces the chances of bumping into kids at the weekend but also roads enable opportunities. My mother-in-law, now retired, used to teach miles away because that was where the head of department opportunity existed and the M25 enabled the journey. Build roads, create demand, create dependency. Of course it doesn't have to be like that but adjustments take decades both ways.
